Marduk ‘s mention of the following makes me extremely angry and ashamed of Canada. More like speechless with rage.
The Western oil company with the closest ties to the late Saddam is
France’s TotalFinaElf. That’s not the curious fact, that’s just
business as usual in the Fifth Republic. This is the curious fact: As
Diane wrote in February and again last week, “Total’s biggest
shareholder is Montreal’s Paul Desmarais, whose youngest son is
married to Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s daughter.”
Let’s see if I’ve got this straight: TotalFinaElf’s largest
shareholder is a subsidiary of Montreal’s Power Corp, whose co-chief
executive is Jean Chrétien’s son-in-law, Andre Desmarais.
